Am I the only one that thinks the new elite armor doesn’t look that great? Doesn’t this look more menacing than this? I mean, what’s the point of their helmets being that high up? The new elites look like hunchbacks again. The only parts that really bother me are the headpiece, and the lack of forearm armor or protection.
Discuss.
I think the armour looks great, and I’m a fan of the hunched pose.
Does your poll mean the old elite armor from reach being changed to Halo 4 or do you mean redesign the Halo 4 Elite to look more like reach?

I also enjoy the hunched look. It makes them seem more alien, as their stance is not entirely human looking.

I was about to make it like that, but no, it does not mean that. It just means anything with a different helmet that doesn’t look as ridiculous.

Oh, well then I would preffer it to look more simmilar to the way it was in Reach not the way it is now.
I don’t like the minors all that much. Just not really digging the headpiece.

That’s the part that gets me as well.
The elites in H4 are a group of rogues, maybe they didn’t want to keep the traditional minor armor

Seems like it. I hope that isn’t official minor armor. It’s ok for rogue armor.

I prefer the new look. They look more monstrous than the ones in Reach.
I really dont care. It fits the new art style and thats all that matters.

I only voted Yes for redesign because of the headpiece. It looks very odd but if it fits the canon I think it is completely OK (i.e. rogue armor).
The Covenant has fallen apart. Elites don’t know how to produce armor, or upkeep it. They’re scrapping together everything they can. That’s why all the Covie armor looks pieced together.
I personally like the new look, but that’s just me.
The new elites look sick, the good kind of sick. 
I like the new art direction.
However, my only problem is the feet… they take up a lot of space.
lmao, the new elite looks dumb. Oh well
They look pretty good to me, just let 343 do what they want to the series. Don’t look back and complain that things don’t look the same because they’re not going to. This is a whole new beginning for Halo, treat it as such.
I have always hated the look of minors. It looks like these elites are more pale. Wars was the only Halo to nail the look.
